Elroy Ink

‘Elroy’ is the alter ego of Geelong-based designer Ken Lawson. Ken grew up in Tasmania, studied design in Melbourne, and after a fleeting fling with the music industry, settled down on Victoria’s surf coast, where he’s currently working as a graphic designer. Ken has just launched a range of limited and open edition A2 sized giclée prints under the name Elroy Ink, which he sells online and through a handful of retail stockists.

There are so many local studios making affordable print editions these days, but I must say there’s something that really caught my eye about these designs. Maybe it’s just refreshing to see abstract, interesting graphic prints minus the cute text / typography elements! These pieces really are just all about the shape, colour and painterly composition – not a cheesy romantic message (or tram destination!) in sight!

I really love the ‘Arches‘ design pictured at the top here… Priced from $75.00, you can buy Elroy Ink prints online or from retailers including Maiike and Sedonia in Melbourne, and One Small Room in South Australia.

so true lucy! (someone should make a homewares line called ‘not another bloody tram destination’) .. i also think these are awesome and your top 2 images are my top 2 picks. first one for me (aka living room) and second one for kids’ room, since miss mirka announced to me only this morning that yellow is now her favourite colour & not red and pink together anymore.

Wonderful blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m completely overwhelmed .. Any tips? Bless you!
